Front view of a pre-World War 1 building on Thorne's Bay, between Milford and Takapuna beaches. The Thorne farm was on the land behind this building. The building itself is possibly a boathouse (note the flag and flagpole on the roof of the annex attached to the main building)or a holiday home. The main part of the building was later pulled down, and the annex became a separate boathouse.
